Hi All,

Just a question..

It seems more applications (NcFTP, Mutt) need ncurses instead of 
just curses, and as the ncurses maintainer states that 4.4BSD curses
is discontinued, why does NetBSD not import ncurses ? it has a BSD
copying policy, or is there too much gpl'ed or SvR4 stuff in it
that would break the compatibility/philosophy in NetBSD ?

Regards,
	Ruben
